Hi again. Was just watching the reel from last week’s show and something came to me. Chuck and Winona were on, and as usual, that banjo music was in the background. Notice how the rednecks seem to be the exception to every racism rule? In case you were worried, this is apparently still A-Okay in America. Seriously, you think they’d be playing rap music every time they showed a couple of 50 cent type racers on there? Somehow, I don’t think so.
Anyway, back to the show. The teams are arriving at the pit stop. They get the bad news that they are still racing and need to head to their next task in Bali. Each team was like “Yay!” but you could tell that not one of them wanted to keep going. That was especially the case for Dave, who’s still hobbling around on crutches. Honestly, kind of sick of hearing about his stupid leg / foot / ACL now. Whatever. Quit crying about it already. I’m actually kind of missing all the cancer talk at this point.
John is rattling on yet again about “extracting as much benefit out of the Express Pass” as he and Jessica can. God, shut up about that frigging Express Pass already! I mean, are you kidding me? I think every sentence these two spit out has the phrase “Express Pass” in it. I wish Phil would come out of the wings on one of these convos, kick John’s *ss and rip the Express Pass out of his ugly fingers. It is so unbelievably annoying at this point.
Chuck and Winona were the last to check in, so they are pretty lucky that the race is still going on. Winona’s rattling on about how “There’s a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow” and various other clichés. Who knows what the hell she means by all this. This chick could think that the Lucky Charms guy will be sitting there at the pit stop at the end for all we know. Cue the banjo music, duh!
The teams are all on three different flights until John and Jessica find an earlier 10:30am arrival flight to Bali. It puts them there about an hour and a half before some of the teams. They share this info with Meghan and Joey. I guess it’s screw Dave and Connor time, huh? So much for that alliance. I think John has counted Dave and Connor out, but who’s to say Dave doesn’t hobble over that finish line with that jacked up leg? Got a million dollars at the end of the line, he may be capable of some amazing feats.
The teams are first at some Monkey Forest. They put these giant coconuts out for monkeys to open for them to get the next clue. That idiot Max is sitting there holding on to the coconut like any monkey is going to come over and eat right out of his orange hand. What a dumb*ss. Like a monkey isn’t going to be scared off, especially by someone the color of the surface of the sun. I think the monkey must’ve pissed or something too because Max got stuck picking his clue out of something that looked a lot like a puddle of monkey pee.
Great recap, as always! I’m surprised you didn’t comment on Joey’s disturbing monkey voiceover like he was Jeff Dunham or something. Also, did you catch how the roller derby moms fed the monkeys their coconut? What game did they think they were playing: Amazing Race…or Bowling for Primates? I’m willing to bet both these chicks spend a fair amount of time knockin’ ’em down at their local bowling alley.
I LOVED that John went out holding the Express Pass! I am pretty sure Jessica is not dating that idiot anymore!
Another awesome recap.
